East 32nd Ave. Ft. Lauderdale, FL Opening January 1988 women started entering the career world, they said good- bye to cooking. Friedan decid- ed she would cook when she felt like it with a minimum of fuss. _ " 'We women had to liberate ourselves from the slavish necessities, the ex- cessive drudgery and guilt related to cooking in order to be able to now liberate ourselves from an excessive need to react against it she said. Friedan may be back in the kitchen but restaurants are filled with women who work and those who don't but shudder at the thought of that lost art —. entertaining at home. "Back in 1977, Detroiters were going to the dinner theater at Botsford Inn to see I Do! I Do! with perennial favorites Phil Marcus Esser and Nancy Gurwin. The price was $13.50 per person. "Some local folks were enrolling in dance classes to learn disco, swing and cha- cha from Jack Barnes at $2.50 a lesson. Minks were on sale from $699 to $1,995. "Omelettes were out and crepes were in. Charity balls were out and disco was in. But you were assured that if your tastes in food or enter- tainment weren't popular, an out could quickly become an in. "Once upon a time, people made their own soup, simmer- ing it for hours_ in a pot. As the liquid bubbled, they add- ed spices and herbs, meat and fresh vegetables, sometimes leftovers. The result was in- deed 'rich' as Lewis Carroll wrote. It tasted good. It was nutritious, too. "But homemade soup was a lot of work. And so, a few years after Lewis Carroll wrote his song of praise to homemade soup, 19th Cen- tury technology brought forth canned soup. Condensed soup in a can was one of America's first real convenience foods. It was introduced by a small New Jersey company then called Jos. Campbell Preserve Co. "For a long while, Campbell and its early rival, H.J. Heinz Co., found the canned soup business slow 'going. Back around the turn of the cen- tury, few people were convinc- ed that canned rivaled homemade. Sniffed the late Amy Vanderbilt, 'In my own childhood, canned foods of all kinds were looked upon with great disfavor? "The newly-named Camp- bell Soup Co. worked hard to give canned soup a good im- age. In expensive advertising campaigns, the company plugged flavor and quality rather than convenience. Typical was a 1940 radio com- mercial in which the an- nouncer, in honeyed tones, described Campbell's relatively new cream of mushroom soup as having 'a delicious, out-of-the ordinary taste — a blending of fresh, sweet cream, heavier even than whipping cream, and young cultivated mushrooms. Mushroom flavor fills every "If your tastes weren't popular, an out could quickly become an in." spoonful. Mushroom slices abbund.' "Eventually, Campbell's campaign succeeded. In the American pantry, cans of soup — usually Campbell's distinctive red and white cans — became a staple. In the pot on the stove, canned soup took the place of homemade. "True, today there's something of a backlash because of the new interest in avoiding processed foods. The pot of homemade soup is again bubbling in some American kitchens. "But Campbell and its com- petitors still sell more than $900 million worth of soup every year. It's clear that canned soup will remain a convenient, low-cost staple of the American diet. "Trouble is, most canned soups don't taste very good. And most aren't very nutritious."
